Dracula’s Dog’s Groomer (1979)

I’m more of a chainsaw guy but it was good. Loved Kelly McGillis as one of the least flaky crystal pendelum people in the movies

Liked not loved for both of us, but also we were sleepy haha. Real theme for the 2025 October marathon it seems

thought it was a perfectly good haunted hotel story, and one of its visitations is as ghastly as it gets. Its characters are likable and well acted. But it’s still not quite my favorite type of thing, and I left with an appreciation for its scare moments and some questions about the plot

we’re a day behind again, but another double feature looms. Our latest horror watch was THE INNKEEPERS, previously unseen

can’t believe Amelia Earhart was downed by a short in the entertainment system

today I got a stiff neck from doing nothing, forget this. The most I’ll do is leave a bowl of cyanide capsules outside the door

Glamour punks?

Dancers with sunglasses

Watching DANCE OR DIE and these shots are from the first 5 seconds, so it's setting some high expectations

I for one will be seeing the TRON sequel. You can do it, brain

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

Oh that usage sure exists. But the list has exceptions for context/meaning and “queer” has none, which I find ludicrous. I think (not a joke) this list originated in the UK, they made sure to add the context exception for “fag”

One of my favorite things is getting Standards & Practices lists of words to bleep, and today was the day

Zero tolerance in any context for “queer” has dust on it though, what genius included that

I think it remains as significant that he didn’t want his name on them, in honesty

I believe that is correct for all but the one he vetoed, but “believe” is the strongest word I’d use

fuck him up, state flag bear

my husband abdicated all responsibility for this once he realized he could. It wears me down lol

the week of Aldo’s tragic end was the week I discovered Comics Curmudgeon ❤️

Which is bonkers because that ain’t how documentary series work. A million people have tried to suddenly have creative control when they don’t like how they’re coming off on camera; they usually just get a no

oh no haha

Mmmm, yeah that kind of stinks

bad news for Rafael Cruz I guess

“Let’s do the fucking news.”

“Let’s do the fucking news 😏” and being praised for “energy” and “passion” and all the learning that’s about to happen tells me she’s in over her head, this is the vibe of getting your very first career job

If a higher-up starts praising her ability to delegate, I think that will say a lot

Seconded, "unglamorous and disturbing" is the perfect description for that film and I find it far more compelling.

listening attentively to 2 Live Crew in case there’s a lyric I can shout back when asked. They all seem to be having such fun with that

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

oh yeah that’s ridiculous, seemed about as horror as a Robert Altman movie. I gotta see that—Stuart Gordon hearing that story and saying “I must make this a film” cannot be ignored

this photo is older than half the people who’ll see it today, wyd

How is that? I got veeery close to seeing it without quite

Yeah I heard really bad things. I like a good Ryan Murphy horror mess but it doesn’t sound like one

mark your calendars!
(this will be at BAM)
